Those are some bizarre allegations. CIS-A2K supports the work of the Wikimedia community and is a Wikimedia affiliate. When there are existing channels to communicate, namely Wikimedia India mailing list and several Indian language/city-based mailing lists that are moderated by representatives from the community, why should CIS create a new list? Isn't that the opposite of being a catalyst programme?
I'd strongly suggest to even read about the Women's History Month on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women's_History_Month) before asking who "decided". Wikimedia communities "decide" together. Also, what exactly is the issue here? Lastly, how could CIS staff censor your posts to a list that they don't moderate? This list is moderated by volunteers who are Wikipedians like you and me. For full clarification, I am a Wikimedian and I was a part of CIS-A2K from 2012-2016 but don't a formal relation any more. Like many others, I am also critical of their work as any Wikimedian should be.
